About This Topic

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention occupies a central role in public health policy, epidemiology, and health communication, making it a frequent subject of academic writing across disciplines including public health, nursing, social work, political science, and health administration. Students engage with the CDC as both a primary source of authoritative health data and as an institutional actor responsible for disease control, prevention guidelines, and risk communication. Topics ranging from infectious disease outbreaks like Hantavirus to chronic conditions such as peptic ulcers fall under its purview, giving essays on this subject a broad and genuinely interdisciplinary scope.

Papers archived on this topic take several distinct approaches. Some apply theoretical frameworks, such as the health belief model or social cognitive theory, to evaluate how prevention strategies reach individuals and communities. Others are case-study oriented, examining specific diseases including HIV/AIDS or conditions like body weight and composition through a CDC-informed lens. Risk assessment reports and community health strategy analyses reflect a policy and applied public health angle, while literature reviews and article critiques demonstrate how students engage with CDC-sourced evidence to build or evaluate arguments about treatment, reducing transmission, and patient outcomes.

A strong essay on this topic requires a clearly scoped thesis that moves beyond summarizing CDC guidelines toward analyzing their effectiveness, limitations, or application in a specific context. Evidence drawn from peer-reviewed studies, official CDC reports, and documented case outcomes tends to carry the most weight. The most common pitfall is treating the CDC as an infallible authority rather than engaging critically with how its recommendations are developed, communicated, and received across different populations.

Life Experience of Personal Care Assistants in Anchorage Cross-Cultural Caring of Older Adults

The increase in racial and ethnic diversity in the United States and specifically in Anchorage Alaska and the compelling evidence of ethnic health disparities (Smedley, Stith and Nelson, 2002) makes the incorporation of ethnogeriatric perspective into the practice of geriatric health care of critical importance. Reported are the "federally designated racial and ethnic groups…[of]…"American Indian/Alaska Native, African American/Black, Asian American, Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino American, and white/Caucasian American…" (McBride, 2012, p.1) Also reported are "vast differences or heterogeneity…found between and within these categories related to health beliefs and practices, access and utilization of health care, health risks, family dynamics and caregiving, decision making process and priorities, and response to interventions and changes in health care policies." (McBride & Lewis, 2004; McBride, Morioka-Douglas, & Yeo, 1996; McCabe & Cuellar, 1994; Richardson, 1996; Villa, Cuellar, & Yeo, 1993; Yeo, McCabe, Talamantes, Henderson, Scott, & Yee, 1996 in: McBride, 2012, p.1) Additionally reported is that the heterogeneity within each of the categories of ethnic/racial minority older persons such as sociodemographic characteristics, modes of social interaction and communication, health and healing belief systems, learning behaviors, and certain values and traditions…" all of which "contribute degrees of complexity to the delivery of culturally sensitive health care." (Yeo, McCabe, Henderson, Talamantes, Scott & Yee, 1996 in: McBride, 2012, p.1) The study reported in this work is a qualitative phenomenological research study that examines the experiences of personal care assistants in Anchorage, Alaska.
